I could see MAYBE a City Edition, but even then nobody knows (or cares) what the SLC flag looks like here in Utah. If you're going to build a sports brand or alternate jersey around a city or state flag it should be somewhat iconic or recognizable outside the state. That's why it works for Colorado, Chicago and Arizona (to name a few). I mean, OKC's identity is built around the flag there and who could tell me what that looks like?

State flags are more common than city flags, save for the occasional well-known instance: Chicago, St. Louis... I'm sure there are others. When people from Salt Lake City says the flag is not well-known enough, they usually know what they're talking about.

From the leaks I've seen it's gone next season. It's been three seasons of it. Quote Last updated 8/9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NOLA Hornets used to have an identity using that kind of colors indeed, and it was an outstanding uniform package along with the graphics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cavs still hold that title by a margin. What they switched from in favor of this makes it way more egregious than the Jazz. One of the most underestimated jerseys in recent years (especially the white one) Edited June 29, 2022 by GermanSixer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruhammydude Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 In what's the weirdest thing I've seen in a long time, we were super close two have three black/white/gray teams in the NBA, but yet we have a grand total of 1 navy and red team (Washington) (Denver and New Orleans doesn't count, since they use yellow/gold too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barely any of that in other major leagues. 3 Quote Last updated 8/9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though to me the Utah Jazz is all Stockton-Malone purple mountains, I'll be all for it if they went straight up to this color scheme with the same color distribution. That good it was: EDIT: Now that I think of it, Pelicans should've just stayed with it. The colors they switched to are very drab. As a side note, there really are too many purple teams indeed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That color scheme with whatever variant of blue happens to be the most common in American sports. There were several teams with that color scheme in the NBA in the '00-'10s, and at one point during that period literally about half the league was red. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 The NBA has a lot of red teams (4 red-black teams), and a lot of blue teams, but only 3 red/white/blue teams. One more purple team along with the Lakers, Suns and Kings (maybe Toronto down the line) isn't going to hurt anyone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when they all use different secondary colors I don’t see the issue.

Lakers are as much purple as they are yellow to me. Charlotte wasn't the first on the list, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that those were very nice, but I don't know if I'd describe them as underrated, because I feel as if most people thought they looked great at the time. The problem was that the look just belonged in a different city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but not just the bone jersey was being trashed. The whole look (broken horn, odd numbers, the colors) was criticized and a couple of folks on this forum did say they wouldn’t win with this look.
